Dee you are amazing. Your smile and customer service is by far the best I have witnessed in ten plus years. Your store is clean , the food was fresh , price was great , this what it takes to make people keep coming back. All the while I sat inside after placing my order. Taking in the sights you served 4 drive through plus 4 inside orders and two phone orders all this while smiling. Thanks for the experience! I needed that. Keep smiling that’s a ticket. I’ll be back!

I hadn’t eaten this Pizza in years. I’m not sure why I stopped ordering from here but recently I decided to give a try and I must say the Pizza is pretty good along with the friendly staff service.

The “manager” told me I couldn’t substitute onions for mushrooms. He also said I had to call to place an order, the drive thru only take Cash. I was just here 2 days ago and it was no problem substituting and they took my card right here at the window. Just a whole bunch of dummies working here. Would not recommend

This certain location is terribly run. They do not answer the phone. It always seems there is only 1 or 2 employees working at a time. I love their food. Great value as well. I just can’t give them anymore of my patience or money. Something has to change!

Pizza at this location never disappoints. Always perfect and the way I expect hungry howies to taste!!! Only problem I had at this location was with the app. I ordered a 2 liter and a large pizza a few weeks ago.. Total was a little over $20. Hungry howies as a company took the money out of my bank after 3 days of it “pending” (not blaming this location or its employees) but could not give me the items. I understand they couldn’t cause it never came through on the system. However, the company needs to fix the app or not use it at all ♀️ was really mad cause it was my last bit of money until payday the next day.spoke to someone on the phone and they was just as lost as me.
